Metamorphasis
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
― Lao Tzu

Obscured vision
plunged me,
into domains unknown.
I had lost acquaintance with
the essence
of home.
Light was not visible,
only faint impressions,
in the language of shadows,
I heeded the lessons.
What does it mean to surrender to grace
to long for the comfort
of light’s embrace?
I was guided to luminance,
through blind reveries,
into creation’s abundance,
and faith’s treasuries.
Those defining moments,
when life is changed,
the before,
and the after,
never the same…
On the
other side,
of unfulfilled dreams,
where nothing appears to be what it seems,
gentle ripples
of growth,
shift the need to survive,
and coalesce the motion,
of love amplified!
Joy and Compassion
Rest in the garden
of your heart
and understand that
joy and compassion
for others
blossom from
the same root.© 2018 Dennis Ference
You Are Who You Want To Be

Greatness simmers in my blood and then goes away. There are moments of clarity when I see things clearly and then everything becomes out of focus, messy. There are flashes of profound awareness and then vague cluelessness returns. An uncontrolable drive, a passion flickers and then dissapears.

Some days…
there’s good news. Some days there is bad news. And then there are days when both good and bad news present themselves. Such has been today’s fare. The first good news is my grandsons were flying in for a week long visit today. The bad was that it was snowing where they live and so the plane was slow to get up and off the ground and then it was raining here so again the fight was delayed because of the stormy weather. But the good news is they finally got here safely and soundly. Next as we were coming home from taking them to eat at one of their favorite eating places, we were involved in a car wreck. However on the other hand luckily none of us were hurt nor were any of those injured in the other car. Last but not least, the bad news is that yesterday’s biopsy showed that I have a small cancer in my right breast. But we’re hoping and praying that the good news will be that there is no lymph involvement, that it has been caught early enough for it to be easily removed, and that I will survive the surgery. This will be a test of my faith because there is always a risk in surgery, and mine has increased considerably because of my age and because I had a stroke 4 and a half years ago. So as spring unfolds more of her glory, I too shall wait for more life and more health and another miracle. I see the surgeon on April 11th and we’ll know more then. Thank all of you who have expressed your concern and offered up prayers and well wishes. Hugs and blessings, Natalie
